malloc() allocates 1 unit(datatype) of memory each time it
is called so to allocate memory for a file read char by
char allocating memory each time for a char till EOF.
calloc allocates sizeof(datatype) bytes to the no of
elements in the file, where by the user can specify the
file size as the second arguement.
char *malloc(sizeof(datatype) )
char *calloc(sizeof(datatype), num of elements)
calloc() is more efficient as memory is allocated in 1
cycle so fewer clock cycles, more faster executiop.
malloc () for allocating the single block of memory
calloc () for allocating multiple blocks of memory
the values assigned are garbage in case of malloc() and
proper values (zeros) are assigned in case of calloc().
1- malloc() takes one argument while calloc takes 2 argument.
2- default value of malloc is garvage while calloc is 0;
3- malloc allocate memory in contiguous form while calloc
allocate memory in contiguous form if not avilable the takes
diffrent place.
1.
calloc function takes two argument while malloc takes only 1
2.
by default memory allocated by malloc contains garbage values
whereas that allocated by calloc contains all zero.
malloc occupies byte of space in memory location and holds
only one argument of data bytes.
calloc occupies and holds 2 bytes of memory in address
location with arguments databytes,number of data bytes.
calloc occupies in structure of blocks and malloc allocates
in struncture of databytes.
malloc() is a one argument function while calloc() is two
argument function
malloc() take garbage value at initial time while calloc()
take null values at initial time
write a program that uses point of sale system. which are mainly used by retail markets, where the is a database inventory list, a slip should be printed for the customer. manage should be able to access what has been sold and what is left from stock?
